Where it is
What we look for at Silesia
Wind direction
NE (45°) → SE (135°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
7–15 mph
Ceiling · Paragliding
≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23
Top of the range for paragliding (any rating) — switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
Low bluffs (~4,000 ft) over the valley near the Silesia community in Carbon County, south-central MT. No flying guide or pilot report was found, so the NE-through-SE window is inferred. Typical low-relief risks: thermal/mechanical turbulence in midday heating, lee rotor if wind backs to W/SW/N, and gusty frontal passages. Morning or evening glass-off is best. Rating, launch, and access unknown - confirm with Billings-area pilots and landowner before flying.
